| Summary |
With more and more filmmakers taking advantage of its rich and varied settings, New Orleans has earned star-studded status as the Hollywood of the South. From the big-screen adaptation of the stage classicA Streetcar Named Desireto the Elvis Presley musicalKing Creole, many well-known films have a special connection with the Big Easy, and this user-friendly guide explores the integral role of New Orleans in American film history. World Film Locations: New Orleansfeatures essays that reflect on the citys long-standing relationship with the film industry. Among the topics discussed are popular depictions of Hurricane Katrina on film, the prevalence of the supernatural in New Orleans cinema, and recent changes to city ordinances that have made New Orleans even more popular as a film destination. As the most frequently filmed area of New Orleans, the French Quarter is given particular attention in this volume with synopses of scenes shot or set there, includingThe Big Easy, Interview with the Vampire, and the much-loved Bond filmLive and Let Die. Additional synopses highlight numerous other film scenes spanning the city, and all are accompanied by evocative full-color stills. The historic neighborhoods and landmarks of New Orleans have provided the backdrop for some of the most memorable moments in film history, andWorld Film Locations: New Orleansoffers fans a guided tour of the many films that made the city their home. |
